These girls are growing fast! Have I said how much I love autos yet? ๐ Mephisto killing it so far. ๐
Ages below (from sprout):
BT1 - Day 16 as of 8/19/17
BT2 - Day 15 as of 8/19/17
BT3 - Day 15 as of 8/19/17
Updates and Observations:
Heights:
BT1 - 4"
BT2 - 3.5"
BT3 - 4"
Temps:
- 64F Lows at night, 75F Highs in the day.
Growth:
- They are all putting out their fifth nodes right now.
- On the night of 8/12, BT3 fell over and laid on the ground, leaves pointed up at the lights until the morning of 8/13 when I noticed it and propped her up using a zip tie.
- Despite the collapse on 8/12, BT3 seems to be the dominant plant at this point with BT1 and 2 following respectively.
- Internodal spacing is very tight despite 30" to their respective 132W actual LEDs. This makes me think that they are going to be some very short, bushy plants which is all cool by me. ๐
- They have hit their strides and definitely started to grow very vigorously over this past week or so.
- I like the shade of green on the leaves I am seeing.
- Leaves appear to be very, very wide, possibly indicating the cross is leaning a little more on the Indica side?
Watering:
- Been giving them about 1/3 gallon of RO water each whenever they dry out which is about every 2-4 days so far. I just throw a smidge of Recharge and B-52 in there with them for healthy stalks and roots.
- Not planning on going crazy with the nutes this run unless needed. I experimented a bit with my outdoor autos and honestly the Roots Organic soil seems to have pretty much everything they need when it comes to NPK up until late flower. I will have to factor in that these plants probably are going to have a much higher metabolic rate than my outdoor crop because the outdoors received significantly fewer hours of sunlight but we will see how it goes.
Thanks to everyone stopping in! Always grow from your heart and good luck to everyone doing it right out there!
@CaciqueCayacoa,
My bad dude. Hard to tell tone on these things. I should have given you the benefit of the doubt. I just hated the idea of leaving it open haha. Something about it. Happy growing to you good luck man.
@Grimbol, Probably a closing without harvest is needed but adding a harvest with no actual harvest is pretty deceiving, specially on the rating, that affects the strain and the breeder overall rankings.
My bad if I sounded bitter but rather than rating it, you should have left it as it is. Instead of being aggressive I was being ironic on the action itself because you rated it just to say you cannot rate it. happy growing!
@CaciqueCayacoa,
Grow diaries does not allow you to close a diary without a harvest and rating. I explained it very thoroughly in my notes and did not give it bad ratings and gave it the third highest marks so that it wouldn't influence much on the site. I explained what I was able to observe and left it at that.
Do you have a better idea how to handle the situation or just passive aggressive comments?
I've seen things like this before personally.
The yellowing of the inside portion of the leaves looks like iron deficiency could have been from lockout.
The leaves wilting like that looks like under watering the way the leaves look like they are drying out looks identical to the plant I had issues with, I drenched the pot watered it so there was loads on run off then sprayed with a CalMag solution the whole plant. It bounced back and was fine after.
If I could link pics I would.
With those air pots I think the best thing to do is soak the medium leave it for a few days before you plant any seedling in it. If you don't water properly you can get canals of wet patches and dry patches where the roots will die because they aren't getting any water. I could be totally wrong of course but looks suspiciously like the issues I had once. Good luck on next grow, peace ๐๐ผ
@PharmaZ,
Thanks man. Much appreciated. Yeah I have heard only good things about Mephisto and I am pretty set on switching over to autos so they seemed to be a great option. So I haven't told anyone on here yet but I germinated 4 seeds about 3 days ago. I popped 2 Gold Glue and 2 Northern Cheese Haze x Sour Hound. That journal should come out this coming weekend. Cheers man.
@Grimbol, No problem at all pal, I would've liked to see you turn it around :( Interested in Mephisto strains so I hope to see you grow another, if you do pm me to let me know when you start and I will follow you gladly, peace dude๐๐ผ
@PharmaZ,
Thanks for the detailed advice man much appreciated. PH has been pretty stable though around 6-6.5 and the speed of the onset made me think it was the sprayer. I actually chucked them all already unfortunately. I know I was only in veg but if there was even a chance of that toxic stuff being in the plant or flowers I won't risk it. Just not worth it to me. Thank you for the helpful advice man. I will remember it. Happy growing.
